About this resource

What's inside this resource

Crash Course Psychology #1 provides educators with a complete lesson to introduce students to psychology concepts using the popular Crash Course video series. The resource features the first video in the series, "Intro to Psychology", along with a 15-question digital worksheet for students to complete while viewing the engaging video. Questions target key concepts presented in the fast-paced episode, including early thinkers in psychology like Freud and Skinner, the major disciplines of psychology, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and more. This supplemental resource is an impactful way to launch a unit on psychology. The zip file contains the worksheet and an answer key for easy checking. It can be used flexibly for whole class teaching, individual assignments, and more.

Teaching tips

The worksheet is unusable without the linked Crash Course episode, so check that the video is accessible on your school network before the lesson.
The questions follow the episode in order, which means students can answer as they watch rather than afterwards.
Because the Word versions are included, you can cut questions, change wording or add your own before printing.
The teacher key gives full sentence answers, so it doubles as a model for how much detail you expect.
